“Just rest it and see how it goes.” It’s the most common advice people give themselves when something starts to hurt.
A short period of rest can help in the first few days, but resting for too long often slows things down. Muscles and tendons get weaker, movement gets stiffer, and the injury can end up taking longer to settle than it needed to.
For most injuries, recovery comes from the right movement at the right load, guided by someone who knows what your body is ready for. That’s what a good assessment works out.
If something has been hanging around for more than a couple of weeks, it’s worth getting looked at. No referral needed.
